Overview


The bureau was formed in 1934 under designer Alexander Sergeyevich Yakovlev as OKB-115 (the design bureau has its own production base at the facility №115), but the birthday is considered on 12 May 1927, the day of maiden flight of the AIR-1 aircraft developed within the Department of Light Aircraft of GUAP (Head Agency of Aviation Industry) under the supervision of A.S. Yakovlev.


During World War II Yakovlev designed and produced a famed line of fighter aircraft.


Yakovlev was acquired by Irkut in April 2004.[4] The Russian government merged the holding company with Mikoyan, Ilyushin, Irkut, Sukhoi and Tupolev as a new company named United Aircraft Building Corporation in February 2006.[5]


The firm is the designer of the Pchela (Russian: Пчела, "bee") drone reconnaissance aircraft and is perhaps best known for its highly successful line of World War II-era piston-engined fighter aircraft.


The name Yakovlev is used commonly in the West, but in Russia it is always abbreviated as Yak (Russian: Як, meaning the Yak animal) as a part of an aircraft name. The German transliteration, often used by the Russians, Poles, and others as well, is Jak.
